@tufty Hey David, please, there’s some feedback about this attached Render?

we keep many hours looking that we can’t see the problems in general

thanks a lot

I can see the care and attention you have put into everything and it all comes across as warm, inviting and aspirational.

Really great progress and I just love the beauty product shots – truly world class and remind me of the great Tim Cooper’s Paris Hilton shots he produced in Modo – so that is of the highest compliment I can really give.

I would say that perhaps the Linear workflow button is still switched on so that when you render everything is in Linear colour space and not the preferred RGB colour space that I like to work in.

Those are the steps I would make with the highlight on the glass being the first step with it set to screen on top of another render of the backlit liquid.

So it is darker in the centre of the front label as well as the far right side where the light sources are not reaching really.

I just got really inspired by seeing it launch and saw such beauty in it all I had to try and make something happen with it all. The front label is completely made from scratch so I tried my best to match the fonts as I could but can’t be totally sure I got it right. I use font… Read more

I have a Hibiki bottle sitting on a plinth next to my work station with a soft back light and the way the facets interact with the light is… Read more

My only concern is that I would like to see them ‘pop’ just a bit more. I’ve just taken screen shots of them and then duplicated the layer and set the top one to screen and it really brings… Read more

Fabulous addition to your portfolio and time well spent.

Not had a lot of time the past couple of months to play with CGI but I finally managed to add this project to my portfolio. Pretty pleased with the end results 🙂

Eyes down and let’s all get creating.

You need to immerse yourself in that fully to get the best out of it for everyone and right now I allow myself 10 to 15 minutes a day for personal projects, which is why series like those… Read more
